Simple HTTP/HTML server

I got myself a Wifi dipcortex with the intention that a simple HTTP server could run on it to be able to set for example the color of an RGB LED via a very simple HTML page. I have seen it done on Arduino, so surely there is something available on mbed, right?

Now the problem: I can't seem to find something like that. Now the mbed search isn't the greatest thing ever invented, but still. Plenty of clients for all kind of stuff, and websockets, but I want just a very simple html page to be served. You got this one: http://mbed.org/users/feb11/code/HTTP-Server/, and similar ones which do RPC over HTTP. It clearly shows the kind of page I want, but I don't want RPC (and that one is coded on top of EthernetInterface). I just want to be able to supply it a char pointer (or file object if needed) for the HTML page. This seems to have a static page option: http://mbed.org/users/screamer/code/HTTPServer/, but unless I am mistaken it also seems to be really built for the EthernetInterface (even though it isn't really included).

With small modifications this one actually properly works on a CC3000: http://mbed.org/users/hsgw/code/HTTPServer_echoback/, but sadly it doesn't do more than echo'ing the HTTP request.

Now with some tinkering I managed to let that code serve me a HTML page :D. However at the same time I cannot imagine I am the first one who likes to do something like this. So the question:

Is there somewhere a library which allows me to serve a simple, static HTML file that is on the bin file (so just a const char or something similar), and which is not hardcoded to use EthernetInterface/Wifly/something different than the CC3000? (Or at least not too hardcoded).
